THE GOOD BUY: Chanel 11.12 Bag
Director SOFIA COPPOLA on her social re-entry bag
My personal style is influenced by movies. I love Romy Schneider in the (Luchino) Visconti film The Job. Chanel did the clothes. I also love the actresses Anouk Aimée and Capucine, because they always look sophisticated. But for the past year, I've basically been living in sweatshirts and old Levi's. I've been staying in Napa, where I grew up, and I didn't expect to be [there] for such a long time, so I had only a few things with me. I wasn't even carrying a bag apart from a canvas tote. In May, I had a big birthday and wanted to treat myself, so I decided that this pink-and-navy knit Chanel 11.12 would be something cute and chic to re-emerge into the world with. It was fun to think about going to New York and Paris again and having a nice bag. I'm still finding getting dressed a bit daunting, so I feel like even if I just wear something simple, the bag cheers it up. I like that Chanel makes classic bags in fun fabrics. It's less serious, but still something that I can have forever and give to one of my daughters someday. Now that I haven't been shopping for a while, it's more appealing to have a few really nice things.
